These 13 Maine Seafood Restaurants Serve Lobster And Fried Clams Worth Driving For

Carhop service still exists in Maine, and at least one seafood stand uses it to bring fried clams straight to your car window. I love that so much. Lobster and clams on a dashboard tray feel like a road trip that already reached its happy ending. Other stops ahead sit...

This Maine BBQ Restaurant Serves A Massive Feast With Seven Smoked Meats And Six Sides

One platter here carries all seven smoked meats, over three pounds of them, plus six sides. The kitchen even gave it a name that sounds like a warning: The Meat Sweats. That lineup includes prime brisket, burnt ends, pulled pork, house sausage, chicken thighs, pork belly, and a half rack of spare ribs. Then come collard greens with pork croutons, chili, mac, slaw, beans, and tiny cornbread muffins.

This Maine Bagel Shop Opens Before Most People Wake Up And Keeps The Breakfast Crowd Coming

The ovens here were upgraded to bake 64 dozen bagels at one time. That’s a lot of dough, and the doors open at 6 AM every single day of the week. I love the thought of that. While most of Maine is still hitting snooze, somebody is already boiling bagels and setting out fresh pastries. The bagels get boiled before baking, the old-school way.

These 10 Hidden Italian Restaurants In Maine Are Local Favorites For Cozy Fall Evenings

Pasta now gets served in a Maine dining room that once sold hardware. I love that swap. Nails and wrenches out, meatballs and chicken parm in. Another spot on this list sits inside a converted mill. Two others feature a fireplace inside. One even makes its own gelato, which feels like a smart move after a big plate of rigatoni.

8 Northern Maine Restaurants Where Poutine Is Worth The Winter Drive

At one diner near the top of Route 1, you can order poutine for breakfast. Not after lunch. At sunrise, with coffee, while snow piles up outside. That detail alone made me curious about how far north the poutine habit runs in Maine. The answer is pretty far. Up near the Canadian border, fries with gravy and cheese show up next to ployes, chicken stew, and fried haddock.
